# Instantiation Options

{% hint style="warning" %}
All instantiation options requires the prefab to have a **Photon View** attached to it.
{% endhint %}

## 1. Photon Database

To instantiate a player object you can add drag and drop you prefabs to the Prefabs tab in Photon Preferences inside Game Creator Preferences.

## 2. Game Creator List

This method makes whatever object you put in this Game Creator list available for network instantiation.

By using a list you can make it easy if you want the player to have an specific or random prefab based on the list iterator.

{% hint style="info" %}
This method is useful if you want to keep your instantiation available only on an specific scene which its also useful for Asset Bundles.
{% endhint %}

## 3. Prefab inside Resources Folder

If you choose to pick a prefab directly in the **Photon Instantiate** action your prefab must be inside a Resources Folder or added to the **Photon Database** (see option 1)\\
